RBS Is Weighing the Sale Of Bank of China Stake

LONDON -- Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC said Thursday that it is considering selling its 4.3% stake in Bank of China Ltd., in what appears to be another bank's scramble for a cash boost.

After a year in which virtually no Western bank escaped capital increases to prop up ailing balance sheets, Chinese bank shares that couldn't be sold by foreign owners due to lockup periods have been put up for sale.
